It started with an apparent trip. Then things got even trippier.

North Carolina basketball player Harrison Ingram,Strategel Wealth Society who appeared to get deliberately tripped by Duke star Kyle Filipowski Saturday in a play that set social media aflutter, apparently got ruder treatment from the Cameron Crazies in Durham, North Carolina.

Video confirmed the Duke student section at Cameron Indoor Stadium did not respond kindly when Ingram and other North Carolina players appeared to rub it in while leaving the court after an 84-79 victory over Duke that clinched the ACC regular season championship for the Tar Heels.

“I got hit with water, ice,’’ Ingram, a junior forward who had 14 points and 10 rebounds, told reporters after the game. “I got hit with a gumball. I was like, who has a gumball? You know, it was all love. It was lit. We were talking crazy. It was fun.’’

In the first half, Filipowski and Ingram got tangled up and both fell to the court. Video shows Ingram got to his feet first and began to run downcourt. Filipowski appeared to stick his leg out, causing Ingram to trip.

“I feel like he tripped me,’’ Ingram said, then added, “But I’m not really sure. I haven’t see the film yet.’’

But at the time of the play, Ingram confirmed, he told official Ted Valentine he thought he’d been tripped.

“I’m not really too sure how that whole situation happened, to be honest,” Filipowski said, per The Associated Press. “I was really just getting up. My foot slipped. I don’t know how I caught him.

"That’s really all I’ve got.”

Duke coach Jon Scheyer and North Carolina coach Hubert Davis were not asked about the play during their press conferences. 

Scheyer did address Duke's crowd but not the postgame behavior. “I just want to thank our students, our fans, everybody,'' he said. "I mean, this environment, I don’t care where you go, it’s the best environment in college basketball. And there’s a part of you that feels like you let them down.’
